Invitation to the Climate Change Provincial Public hearing.

“Prevent dangerous
anthropogenic interference with climate system

The South
Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) will be hosting Climate change
provincial hearings on the 17th November 2017. This hearing will be
running concurrent with the UNFCCC COP23 conference taking place in Bonn Germany.
The theme for this year’s Conference of the Parties is ‘Prevent dangerous
anthropogenic interference with climate system’. The world over is experiencing
the most catrostophic climatic conditions ever seen for a long period of time.
South Africa is not spared and has seen droughts with water shortages in parts
of KZN and the Western Cape, Cyclones and massive storm damage we last
witnessed in the late 80’s.

Those who
bear the brunt of the changing conditions are not necessary the people
responsible and yet suffer the most harm .The purpose of these hearings is to
bring people together from all sectors of our society that are effected and
affected by environmental injustice to give their own testimonies on the
ongoing daily struggles they experience, To ensure that behind every climate
crisis is a human face that can be seen and heard.

We will then
deliberate a discussions that must lead
to a statement coming out of this hearings that we seek as a possible solution on how we the world people
need a another world that is sustainable,
cares about the environment and puts its
people first

This
statement will be sent to all media. We encourage members of the public and
organisations to attend.
